B. Cox welcomes special guests D & T of The Perfectly Imperfect Couple Podcast to help him review the Fugees second and final album, the magnum opus The Score. It was a once in a lifetime occurrence in hip-hop in 1996 with a unforgettable story: How a $135,000 advance after a disappointing debut with full creative control led to a legendary bounce back and one of most influential albums of the 90s; a project that fused hip-hop with multiple genres while tackling politics, social issues and hardships that became the best selling album by a hip-hop group of all-time.
